Chia Seeds

Chia seeds punch well above their weight for such a tiny seed. Drop them in water and within minutes they swell into a gel that has become a staple in smoothies, puddings and health drinks worldwide. That gel is actually very good for digestion, and the seeds themselves are one of the rare plant foods that provide a complete omega-3 fatty acid profile.

At Noha Harvest we stock black chia seeds that are clean, properly dried and consistently fresh. They have a very mild flavour on their own which is why they blend so seamlessly into almost anything without changing the taste.

One of the most worthwhile things you can add to your daily routine.
